When people think of time repeating itself, they often think of rebirth. When someone dies there’s always the question of where their spirit goes. One of Einstein’s dreams in the novel is describe by Alan Lightman as if time were to repeat itself. In this dream, a women, along with her child, visit her sick husband who’s about to die. Lightman asks the question, “How could she know that time will begin again, that she will be born again…” (Lightman8). How could we know that time will begin again? When someone experiences déjà vu, they feel like they’ve been at that same place at the same time with the same people. Some people that have experienced déjà vu will make inferences that it has to do with their spirit living in the past, like they were born again. When connecting time repetition and simultaneity you can infer that both are hard to define. In the article, “Time: India”, author Brian Smith states, “Just as souls were perpetually reborn, so was the universe and time itself” (Smith1). This means that whenever someone had passed away, their soul didn’t. Their soul will go on and live in someone else’s body and whenever that soul was born again; it was like starting all over. If this could be connected to déjà vu and time repetition itself, anyone can infer that déjà vu can connect to rebirth. Brian Smith also
